ABSTRACT:
A system for mounting a front hood deflector to a vehicle does not require drilling of the hood to install fasteners. The molded plastic deflector body is retained on the hood by at least one mounting clip which adheres to the hood and includes biasing properties for maintaining solid contact against the vehicle body. The biasing clip also acts on the shield body to frictionally engage the shield retarding removal of the body from the clip. A tab formed in the mounting clip engages the plastic shield after closing the hood to prevent withdrawal of the shield after closing the hood.
